This book is the first collection of feminist essays on one of the central figures in the history of English-speaking philosophy. Besides providing a rich variety of feminist viewpoints on a wide range of Hume's writings, the contributors introduce new themes into the scholarship on Hume, including gendered metaphors in his metaphysical texts, the role of society in the conception of the human mind, and his conception of human nature in relation to recent rejections of essentialism.Hume scholarship as a whole still reflects the relative neglect in mainstream analytic philosophy of alternative -- and so feminist -- perspectives on philosophy. The essays in this volume show that the standard, narrow view of philosophy excludes valuable perspectives.These essays cover a great diversity of subjects in Hume's work. They discuss his theory of knowledge; his conception of human inquiry and the human mind; his views on our knowledge of the external world and the future; his treatments of the passions, emotions, and virtue; his conception of moral education; his views on aesthetics and religion; and his historical work.The contributors, members of philosophy, political science, theology, and English departments, employ a variety of critical techniques. The result is a volume that stands in enlightening contrast to the standard collections on David Hume.
